So, ever since I was young, I've been a shy person and I talked really quiet because sometimes I would get made fun of (when younger) for having a high pitched voice. I think I unconsciously began talking in a deep, monotonous voice so that I wouldn't stand out as much (from shyness, and voice insecurity) now I'm 18 and I still talk similar to how I did when I was younger...slow, monotone, and quiet. People have told me I have a monotone voice or ask me why I talk like that. Also people commonly tell me to speak up or they can't understand me because I mumble.
What is a good way to speak clearly, loudly, and with multiple tones and pitch, I'm tired of having a monotone voice. I hate it and its actually one of two of the major problems that I have with myself.

There's nothing wrong with a monotone voice. Even though some people think it's showing lack od emotion it's not like it's a real bad thing. However, if you have to be at an interview with a boss or have to read out a paper then try just a little to make it sound like you don't have a monotone voice because people will take that as you not being interested. But other than in those situations, it's okay.

I LOVE the idea of acting classes. But you can also take singing lessons, or even just join a choir, or if that is too much, just get that radio on and sing every chance you get to music that moves you emotionally.
The emotion that you feel from the music will put some expression in your voice and if you are any good at singing, it will give you some confidence. If you are singing in a choir or whatever, you can get some social skills with having something in common with your new friends. Then you can hold your head up and lose some of the shyness.
Music improved me, it can do you some good too.

First, don't "have a problem with yourself," certainly not because of your voice.
Then, start talking to yourself when you are home alone. Make sure you speak clearly and put feeling into your speech. Look people in the eye when you speak to them. It is difficult to mumble when speaking directly to someone in that way. Try reciting poetry to yourself and putting as much emotion into it as you can - overdo it even. Once you get used to just hearing your own voice and speaking in this way, it will be more natural in other settings. Always speak as if you have something that needs to be heard.

Use what your communicating to someone, with emotion. use your voice to express excitement anger happiness. watch things at home that are funny and learn to relax and laugh. people change their voice to match their emotions. practice that. But don't think to much about it at the same time, because then it will sound forced and that will seem funny. Just express yourself when your talking about something that makes you happy smile real big even laugh a little. get carried away in the context of the story.
Bring what you are speaking to people to life.

Try voice lessons. It is not only for singing. They can teach you how to move your voice box and how to talk from ur abdomen, making ur voice louder. I had the same problem due to being extremely shy, but now I am more confident and speak up more often. Give it a try, it only takes one or two lessons

There really isn't a way to teach you. Make an effort to speak clearly and put a little variation in your tone. It's pretty easy. Practice by imitating one of those annoying radio disc jockeys or TV announcers.

practice in front of a mirror and go say hello in a angry, then funny, then serious voice ...... watch how ppl talk and mimic in mirror or go to a book store they have CD lectures and such that may help you.....
